List of maps -- List of plates -- Introduction to the paperback edition -- Preface -- Introduction -- Abbreviations -- 1. A general accountof the Hong Kong Region -- 2. The community of Cheung Chau -- 3. The community of Tai O -- 4. Shek Pik: a multilineage settlement of Cantonese farmers -- 5. Pui O: a linked group of Hakka and Punti farming villages -- 6.

Summary and discussion -- Postscript: the nature of the political situation in 1898, and its relevance for loacl leadership patterns.

The Hong Kong Region, now being reprinted by Hong Kong University Press in its choesseries, was a historical reconstruction of certain long-settled villages and sub-districts in the NewTerritories of Hong Kong, and, more specifically, an enquiry into the nature of local society in the late Qing period, 1850-1911. Since the book was publishedin 1977, and much new material has appeared in print in the intervening thirty-four years, a new Introduction is called for. It will describethe favorable circumstances in which I came to research its contents, re-state the book's main propositions, review them in the light of the scholarly studies which bear on these topics, and update and carry themforward with the assistance of other authors and through my own later research and publications.
